What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
We are seeing a growing number of attractive opportunities to provide funding to SME UK property developers, despite tough macro conditions and a competitive market. This unique deal addresses the acute regional housing undersupply, while supporting the creation of resilient communities and restoring important local heritage.
About the area/developer:
The project provides development finance towards the redevelopment of a horse training yard in Epsom, and the building of residential housing which will provide multiple long-term community benefits. The existing owners, South Hatch Surrey, combined with Proseed Property and Coranado to complete the development, supported by the Downing property finance team.
About the deal:
The Epsom deal demonstrates our commitment to supporting SME developers and providing flexible and innovative financing. This multi-purpose development encompasses the redevelopment of equestrian facilities and residential property development in a £12.9 million deal. The scheme will include the building of 12 one-bed and 30 two-bed flats, as well as the redevelopment of a successful horse training yard.
The site is currently the racehorse training ground for well-known trainer Jim Boyle. Jim has worked with a project team since 2015 to secure planning for this redevelopment. The project encompasses a new state-of-the-art racehorse training establishment with accommodation for trainers and staff.
The development also provides additional benefits for the community. By updating the racehorse training facility, Epsom’s local economy will receive a boost, an important aspect for an area that holds significant horse racing heritage. The project will also provide a source of sustainable employment for the local community.
Downing’s value-add:
Addresses the acute UK housing shortfall by supporting the delivery of residential-led housing schemes
Builds more resilient communities by supporting important local infrastructure and preserving heritage
Promotes the local economy and develops long-term growth opportunities
Creates sustainable employment and a sporting outlet
Allows investors to benefit from debt investment secured against property development projects by targeting attractive yield through a “safety-first” lens, and focusing on relationship-based sourcing while working with experienced counterparties
